Ranger Creek (21W) sits near Greenwater, Washington at 2,650 ft MSL. It has one runway, 15/33, which is 2,875 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use 3,650 ft MSL for the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
This is a mountain airport. Terrain surrounds the field, so plan your arrival with extra margin and expect a more demanding environment than a lowland strip. Published remarks also call out vehicles, pedestrians and animals on or near the runway. The east side of the runway has a road and guardrail running the full length. Runway 33 has trees, a road and a guardrail close to the approach end. Runway 15 also has signs, trees, a road and a guardrail near the threshold.
The airport is closed from 1 October to 1 June except for approved military and public safety or law enforcement helicopter operations. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement and contact the airport operator before planning a stop here, especially if you need current access details or seasonal status confirmation.
